To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
l want to make a suggestion. though 1t will
be regarded very impractical, because few will
see things So and because of the lack of conf
dence among men, viz The property owners
and business of Indianapolis could gain
wealth more rapidly than in any other way if
they woul- pipe gas into the city and through
its streets for free by all at the ir own ex
pense. or at least at charge barely enough to
keep up the system and repai If it could be
known that this city to have free fuel after
Oct l next within year from that date 1t
would add fifty to one hundred thousand popu-
lation to the city. In that case it would
double the value of all the property here, put
thousands of masons, and carpenters and work
ers in all other lines to work and all these would
become consumers. and in turn all the merchants
and tradesmen would reap their reward. Not
only so. but it would bring every variety of man
ufacturing here, for no such advantages are Of
fered anywhere. While the property owners
might expend 500. 900 in this work about the
cost of their fuel for winter. it would return
them in values several times that sum the first
year. l know that this will make inconstant and

the ball. His intentions were good, even if it
did not prove to be a base hit.

DETROIT, Q; PITTsBURG. 8.


PITTsBURG. May At required eleven in
nings for the Detrolts to defeat the Pittsburgs
to-day The home CLUB started out by making
four runs in the first inning and from the way
they batted Weidman at the beginning of the
game it looked ms though they would have no
t-ouble in defeating the Wolverines. The lat
ter, however. played steady uphill game. and
finally won by superior fielding and good bat
ting at opportune moments Their only fielding
error was that of Dunlap. who jugeled a
grounder. Otherwise he played n magnihcent
game. To-day's error was the iirst he has made
during the series at Recreation Park. Both
Miller and Briody caught an excellent game.
Carroll let in several runs by poor playing and
two costly errors in center field. He redeemed
himself, however. at the bat, being credited
with three two-baggers and base on balls.
The winning was made in the eleventh
inning by Brouthers getting his base halls
after man was out, and hits by Thompson
and White. Quests umpiring severely

STIRRING UP THE MEXICANS.
An Application of the Contract Labor Law
Causes Dissatisfaction Along the Border.
No. 0 South Meridian Street. Inc

Ell PAso Tex, July l8.-The Mexicans re-
siding across the river in the town of Paso del
Norte, which has a population OF 10000, or
Y. 600, are good deal stirred up over O gradual
tightening OF tho lines against them by Uncle
Sam. Collector Magofin has received an i'm
portant ruling from the Treasury Department
at Washington regarding the employment of
Mexicans residing In Mexico as laborers on this
side Of the river. The department has ruled
that the contract labor act passed by Congress
last February, prohibiting the employment OF
foreign citizens working in this country previous
to their exit from foreign country. under PEN.
atty OF 81, 600 for each offense applies to the em
ployment OF foreigners who live near the border
and cross daily to work in this country The
ruling was made especially in regard to
Canadians who crossed Niagara bridge TO work
in New York State, but it affects the Mexican
border probably TO an even greater extent than
the Canadians. Mexieaps come over TO FL
Paso IN large mum bers to work on the railroads
and at many other occupations as common
laborers. The calling which will be most az
fecfed, however. by the new ruling Is cigar
making. since quite n number OF Mexicans come
over daily to work at that business. The heavy
duty cigars, amounting TO nearly twice their
value in Mexico, makes il very desirable that
cigars shall be made on this side OF the river. 1t
is only few weeks since Collector Magoffin re-
ceived an order to prohibit the practice OF bring
ing teams from over the river and ueing them
for an indefinite length Of time without paying
duty, on the ground that the animals were still
owned in Mexico.

PITTsBuRG, July 18-The Dispatch will pub.
Ish tomorrow secret circular, addressed to
the iron manufacturers and signed by Secretary
Weeks, of the Western Iron Association. which
may cause serious trouble between the iron
masters and their employees. The circular ia
marked 'strictly confidential" and states that
owing to misunderstanding it will be necessary
to insert certain clause in the Amalgamated
scale. The change desired will cut off ten per
cent in the wages of some of the employees II
is asserted that the officers OF the Amalgamated
Association have repeatedly refused TO make this
change. as the scale for 1887 has already
been signed. The manufacturers have. there
fore, decided to issue a new schedule, which will
differ in this particular from the scale sent out
by the Amalgamated Association. Tho workers
will not operate the mills under any scale that is
not sanctioned by their officers. and strike
may yet result from the trouble. The clause
desired inserted is appended:

heavier, shall be entitled to 10 per cent reduc-
tion over the wages of 1S84'S5. and when full
turns work is made on No II and heavier it is
